CAP (Common Alerting Protocol)

The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a standardized format for delivering emergency alerts and warnings. It helps different organizations, such as weather services or emergency management agencies, communicate critical information quickly and effectively. CAP messages can include details about natural disasters, public safety threats, or other urgent situations, allowing them to be shared across various platforms and devices. By using a common format, CAP ensures that alerts are clear, understandable, and reach a broad audience, thereby enhancing public safety during emergencies.
